Has there been any progress on dealing with the massive battery drain caused by combo of Google Play Music & Adblockers?
I have tried reverting back to an older version of GPM and that solved it, but it is nearly impossible to keep it from updating (even detaching market entry using TiBu only stops it for about a day). I ran a logcat of AdAway and started whitelisting Google ad servers, but the battery drain persisted and I now had ads.
Care to explain better? I also use GPM & Adblocker and I was having an unusual drain for about a week.
Since I mess with a lot of things, I reflashed everything today (I had 7.1.1 - march update) and now I'm using 7.1.2 N2G47O with Magisk with its Unified Hosts Adblock module and I'll be able to tell if I still have some drain in the next few days

The problem seems to be that a few months ago when GPM was updated, it also increased the pinging of ad servers, for whatever reason. Even if you pay for GPM (I do), the ad servers still get pinged. The issue becomes that most of the adblockers simply alter the host file and denies the loading of the ad. Well, this causes the constant re-pinging of that server to load the ad. When you are streaming music through GPM, it is continuously trying to load those ads, massively draining the battery. I'll get about 1.5 hours out of a charge with this issue.
The same problem, it is probably necessary to put some exceptions for the adblocker, that everything would work correctly
Same problem. Tried whitelisting with no luck.
Adaway and with Magisk unified Adblock. Both are the same with major battery drain.
I don't use ad blocking anymore...

That sounds very aggressive - you may have the battery failure that almost all N6p's have (including me). I just disabled my adblocker and I'll see the behavior, but I believe my phone is about to die.

Luckily I don't. It was night/day difference with Adaway on/off out the old GPM app. I just use a external battery pack I bought for my honeymoon in my gym bag.

The problem with the whitelisting solution is that it causes numerous ads to be allowed, essentially taking away the benefit of AdAway.
Choose the lesser of evils
So glad I finally found this thread. Thank you! I had a heck of a time figuring this out, destroying my battery. I'm using AdHell on an S8 and apparently blocking the ads on play music was doing the same for me - causing the app to churn and eat something like a couple % per hour. With AdHell I just unblocked google play music and play services (just for good measure, don't know if this is necessary) and things seem right again.
I recently had my battery replaced and for a couple of days ran it without an adblocker and totally stock. I always used to root and mess around with the phone but I liked beta Oreo 8.1 so much that I thought I'd try adaway and leave the phone unrooted. Anyway, terrible battery life at work Monday and today. I noticed drain waas high for adaway and that the phone wasn't sleeping. Uninstalled adaway and now a couple hours later, the phone is not draining and has slept with a flatline battery chart.
So, was a solution to this problem ever found? Every time I want to listen to music I have to manually disable adaway... very annoying.
Had the same problem. Battery drained about 30% after 1:30h listening to music. I'll whitelist those apps to see if that would make the difference

Hey guys, I've had my VZW G2 since Feb and could not imagine being any happier with a phone. It's been completely perfect up until about a month ago.
I've been running official KK 442 since close to release. I tether a Pebble Steel daily. Phone is rooted and xposed with G2 Tweaksbox, GravityBox (KK),XBlast, and XuiMod as the main xposed mods installed.
Apps commonly used:
Facebook
FB Messenger
Poweramp
Chrome
Opera
Spotify
BleacherReport
Yahoo Fantasy
Light Flow
Sync (bit torrent Sync- just started using it well after battery issues started)
Pocket Casts
Mint
Pebble app (always latest from Play Store)
Various pebble apps like MusicBoss and PebbleLocker
Running this set up, i used to EASILY get at least 30+ hours battery life, with most days above 40+. That's being tethered to my watch for 9 hours. I didnt even have a charger at work because id be at 75% by the end of the day and would get an entire second work day out of the same charge.
Then one day I woke up and havent been able to get better than 25, with many days barely making 12-18. My battery life has been effectively halved and I can't figure out why. I'm constantly playing with settings or installing new apps, so I reverted any and all possible changes I'd made and froze all recently installed/new apps. When this didn't fix the problem, I started uninstalling and freezing apps that had been updated recently in the Play Store. When that didn't work, i took more drastic measures:
Things I've done:
FDR device, including wiping all data in TWRP and turning off google's app data sync to ensure fresh settings/config files
Uninstalled or used TitaniumBackup to freeze 40+ apps, including all non-necessary apps often considered to be battery hogs (fb+messenger, for example)
Froze Xposed and disabled all mods to run almost completely stock ROM with largely default settings
Monitored GSAM, BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, and CPU Spy for rogue/borked apps
Skipped wearing Pebble for a day to test
Updated and downgraded Google Play Services (various versions from as old as this past spring to the latest version released last week)
Prayed to Joe Pesci
Has anyone heard or seen ANYTHING that could be causing massive battery life losses but that doesn't show up as an app with massive wakelocks? Google Play Services has tons of wakelocks, but it always has. It's a known battery hog, but additional WLs and battery consumption are now expected with Google consolidating more and more services into it, so I'm not sure what to expect now. I dont use Hangouts but keep it installed and frozen 99.9999% of the time.
Not sure what else to do at this point.
still having major battery life issues. I've fdr twice and ran stock with minimal apps for a day with very little change.
guess my battery is bad. ugh.
is it worth replacing myself or should I try and get vzw or lg to replace it under standard warranty?

Nexus 6P users with GSam Battery Monitor and Root Companion, do you notice the one of the highest battery drainers is under "System (mediaserver) and when you click into it is shows "Audio On" for a very long time?
I did not play any music or anything with much sound except normal apps notification. I also tried uninstalling updates of Youtube/Google Music etc and cleared data and cache, and uninstalling a few possible apps such as apps relates to "sounds and music" and the "Audio On" time just keeps going.
Is it normal? If not, any solution or suggsetions? Some users suggested it's Ok Google always on. Thanks.

I have the same, but never managed to find out if it was normal or not. Audio on time was generally a bit more than the Screen on Time. OK Google was completely turned off.
I'm still to establish if it is a GSAM reporting issue, or a real problem.
Are you on the stock factory image but rooted? Is your OK Google set to always on, within the Google app, or never? I had the same problem when reverting back to stock, but switched to PureNexus and started using Amplify and Naptime and it has improved significantly. It does go up when I play music/podcasts though but that's normal I think.

I am on everything stock except rooted. My OK Google is always on but i tried to disable it and still see the "Audio On" time counting. But I do notice the Audio On time does not always count. I failed to find any sorts of co-relation of the time to any apps though. It feels so random. I have already tried uninstalling Music App, some apps with notification time and now disabling Google OK always on, but still the time counts on.
I am having the same issue since few days now.. The mediaserver (especially audio on) usage is really really high.
Do you guys use spotify by any chance? I didn't install it for a while and today after Spotify installation it's like drain time babe.

i don't use spotify. the drain comes out of nowhere and unpredictable. that's the problem.
It looks like wechat draining bro, after receiving any notification from wechat or idleing it will cause it drain on audioon bugs.
If you force close wechat and recheck it stop at the value.
I've been having this issue too. I've been switching back and forth between Chroma and Pure Nexus and it hasn't changed. I always get at least 25% drain due to mediaserver audio on. It's driving me crazy :/

I have the same problem! I will give some stats: Ok Google always on, no local music only play music, no spotify, pocket casts, I tried to only scan with notification, 2 clean installs, my kernel often keeps the device awake.
Running Kylo on Ubermallow with Amplify. I think this drain is real, because when I did not have it my battery lasted longer.
absolutly same issue here :/
it seems started with February security patch, no media file change (not added, not moved of folder, nothing!). I've not played music/video while testing this.... :/
OkGoogle everywhere is OFF
i've no music streming app/services, any chat (just hangouts), any other change on my setup these days.... :/
Has anybody figured this out yet? I had skipped January and February's security patches and was still on MMB29M. This only started about 4 days ago for me. I upgraded to the latest patch, MMB29Q, and... the glitch was fixed for a day hours but has now come back. :\

Is anyone having serious battery drain? If so is there a fix for it!!
Not here...
Full charge at 9:00pm and by 6:00am I only see 3% drop, I don't call it a drain
(no root, latest Android Q update, location on, cell data on, bluetooth and NFC off)
Yes there is definitely higher drain on Android 10 overall.
Currently I am on AOSiP10 and getting 3-4% idle drain and about 2-3 SOT less than on AICP Pie. My friend on Stock 10 @ZeroInfinity has noticed a higher drain than Pie as well.
I'm in the process of figuring out what is causing the higher drain.

No mine is about the same as with Pie (I haven't noticed any difference ... apart from once when I ran it right down I only got about 8hrs of sot (screen on time whereas on pie I'd get about 9 but it wasn't scientific not sure if I had the exact same settings).
Is an app showing high battery usage (Also use hamburger menu to show full system usage which incl standby)(might even be worth also looking at memory usage for each app under developer settings, if nothing stands out under battery for some reason). If very high usage suddenly maybe an app conflict with latest update. Or possibly even a crypto miner or some other malware. You can also check battery usage when booted into safe mode so no third party apps run.

Custom is always better than stock on this phone.
Wait for the AOSP ROMs to arrive and you will be able to easily get double that SOT time!

I did notice somewhat higher drain on A10, but not too much to worry about. My SOT on a single charge is usually about 5+ hours. Full stock, rooted. I am using WiFi Automatic to disable WiFi when the phone is inactive, so that might be helping, not sure how much...
On AOSiP10 there is no wild battery drain.
My device sleeps like a baby.
My advice? Stay off stock Android 10 if at all possible!

Not trying to convince anybody, but I am quite happy on stock. I used to flash custom ROMs a lot, but there is always *something* that doesn't work properly. Could be camera, audio, bluetooth, calls, sensors, whatever... So, optimized stock always seems to work better for me. Especially considering that stock on PH-1 is essentially (no pun intended ) a clean Android, I see no reason to switch. But... To everyone their own.

What optimizations are you using with Android 10?
I'm getting similar results just using Magisk modules: FDE.AI (plus liboemcrypto disabler for on-demand apps and updates).
Also, my phone was ported from Sprint to T-Mobile and I've only recently got a better grip on changing tower conditions with this APN guide from T-Mobile. I had redundant APNs that may have been slowing connection to changing conditions while in motion or changing towers. Support wasn't much help anytime I called. Vacationing in a rural area with limited and slow data had me looking for a better solution. Even better than before coming back home and surfing internet in a passenger car on the freeway. Deleting the redundant ones was key, I believe.

Actually, same here - I am using FDE.AI as well. I also use WiFi Automatic to turn off WiFi when the phone sleeps (IMO, it was a dumb move to remove that setting from Android). I am also shutting down Internet access with NetGuard to the apps that have no business with it, and limiting or removing location access to most of the apps.
On my previous devices I had to get rid of the OEM and carrier bloat, but PH-1 is using basically a clean Android, making it much leaner...

I haven't tried WiFi disabling in years (Juice Defender and profile apps) but I do limit apps' access to Internet with Adguard (unlocked licensed version).
I'll give the WiFi Automatic app a try and see how that goes. I have little use for WiFi outside of those saved networks that auto connect.
Thanks for the reply and suggestion.

If you are sure it's play services you can just go to apps, find it & then go to "storage & cache" and clear cache or if that doesn't work clear data. (you do not need to be rooted)
However I suspect it's more likely another app is the cause as some apps will use services like location that rely on Google play services which then shows high battryr use but it is these other apps that are actually the cause as they are requesting the service. If you can't work out which tureen on developer option and look under "running services" and "memory" watch hopefully will give you a clue.
PS. You can boot to the recovery and wipe the whole cache partition from there

clearing data is the last method for me. if it is possible, i would not do it.
actually, the Google play services don't play to much, the battery just drain when the screen is on. however, i have tried to clear the cache of google play service before, it doesn't help.
there is an update today, just see whether it would improve it or not. would it be the issue of the battery indicator?
Hey all,
Recently got my S10+ replaced under insurance (dropped it about 10 stories), and have since rooted it (magisk).
I get a crazy amount of battery drain, up to 35% an hour when using spotify (and Viper4Android). I get high CPU alerts constantly from google play services, even overnight when charging and not touching at all. Device runs very very hot too.
Just want to ask whether anyone else has had this problem before taking it back and asking for a new phone. Seems like a faulty phone but don't want to rule out a bad flash
Cheerio
I suppose bthat you are rooted, since using viper... Use battery stats to se exactly what is the problem, is it kernel or app related... Either ways, good quick start would be cash clear from recovery and network reset... If still draining, force stop than delete data for gplay, services and google framework this will log you out

I'd feel pretty stupid if I rooted a phone and then considered taking it back because of battery drain. I don't know how anyone could say it seems like a faulty phone when they apparently immediately rooted it without testing the battery life. I'd suggest learning how to use a phone before rooting it and then claiming the sky is falling. Unbelievable.

I've had rooted Android phones for the better part of 10 years. I also had the same problem BEFORE rooting, and flashed a custom OS to ensure the battery drain wasn't due to bloatware. In addition, if you read my post properly you would have noted that this is only an issue with a replaced S10, and was never a problem with the original S10, which means I am completely aware of battery usage life.
Keep your useless and misinformed comments to yourself.

Yeah this problem is old as Android itself the way i dealt with it in the past is i used betterbatterystats app overnight let it record who and what is sucking the battery dry. In your case it seems google services framework is the problem (surprise surprise)
If i was in your shoes i would try what @Sparkynis suggested first, clear cache and data it will delete your google account restart the phone wipe cache in recovery and add your account again if the problem is still there then you might have an app that refuses to go to sleep
and it will show up in betterbatterystats. If that fails i would wipe everything start from scratch only adding your google account not installing any apps besides the betterbatterystats to see if it's the google services framework messed up or an app you have installed that is forcing a wakelock somehow.

Thanks mate, did the battery stat's and it's the location alarm triggering a couple of times a second. Have reformatted and flashed multiple times and yet to fix the problem. Leaving location services off, however, does solve the problem.
This workaround works fine until I get my s20 but unfortunately I was not able to find the root cause. Faulty gps chip maybe? No idea.

Try looking into Google Maps that app triggers location services ALOT even when not running, i have the Unlocked s10+ U1 and even i notice the same thing with Location off i lose 2% of battery overnight with it left on i lose about 9%
Do uninstall google maps and let me know if it's the same. Also i used to have an app called wakelock detector full i haven't used it since my gf bought me the s10+ last version i have is 2.0.4 last updated in 2017 lol but it helped me find apps and system services that are awake and using cpu alot maybe that will help you find the cause
Hey everyone
I've been having some battery drain that I cannot nail down
It appears to be Google Play services that is the culprit.
It's preventing the device from going to sleep. According to ekxm as of now my wake time is 40%.
This is after a factory reset in stock recovery.
Running OB3 on bluspark
It seems to only really happen when on cellular. Last night before going to bed and not touching my phone for hours it was sitting at like 6%.
I don't know what else to do to track this down.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's anything being backed up?
I've had an issue where WhatsApp and Google photos was backing up, so not really an issue but it annihilates the battery and it is backing up to Google.
If it's Google play services going a bit mental then just uninstall updates or clear data..
If it's restoring or backing up then just let it finish.
PS: After you wiped, I'd avoid installing any kernels just to see what your experience is at stock.
Do you have any other modules installed?
These are the versions I'm using.
No modules at all.
Photos backs up yes.
But why would it do that on cellular. I wiped on Saturday and everything was fine Saturday night and Sunday all day when I was at home. Now that I'm out at work on cellular it does this

Seems I don't have all the info I'd need to tell you.
Jump back to stock, root by all means but avoid restoring apps and installing kernels, vpns etc. Then reinstall bit by bit.
That's the only real way you're going to find out what's taking your battery.
Seeing as you're using blu spark, I'd say ask the creator of it, good luck with that.

Seems you have BBS, ex kernel all watching the battery..
Disable the stats from ex, uninstall BBS, get rid of anything else you don't need.... Leave your WiFi on, let anything finish that needs to finish.
Then once it's settled, let's see then whats at the top of the list in the OnePlus battery stats, no need for an app.
Did you compare Google play store and services versions with the ones I posted?

So is probably not the play store, it'll be something you've installed. I've little to no doubt.
As I've said go back to stock, root and then see how you are.
Then bit by bit bring back your apps and mods.

Just leave if for a while, so if any restoring or backing up is going on it'll complete, that's what it sounds like..
Turn off any auto updates or auto back ups for OnePlus and for play store, or diagnostics within apps..
Also make sure you've optimised apps within system settings.
Can't think what else it could be

I don't have anything OnePlus enabled for back ups etc.
All my 3rd party apps are optimized.
This is extremely frustrating. On a device that should be getting me 6+ hours of screen time. I barely get 4 with all this additional drain.
And all this is even after a factory reset. Using the same apps I've always used without any prior issues.

You say it's after a factory reset yet you've gone ahead and rooted again and have all your apps installed and a kernel plus a vpn? It's obvious that what you've installed is causing the problem
Clear the cache and data of your play services, google framework, and play store. Usually of there is something causing an issue for me clearing the cache of those apps is enough to fix the issue.

Adguard (not the adguard vpn, just the local adguard that operates as a vpn) does not drain battery. If anything it reduces battery usage as it uses less data. That is not the problem.

Really? So a process trying to load something over and over again can't cause battery drain? Yes it can....I've seen it before.
I've already stated what needs to be done, it's up to him if he chooses to follow that.

He showed that is something to with Google play services that is causing the issue. Considering that adguard is not connected to Google play services, it has nothing to do with it. Nothing in his images shows adguard as causing an issue. Which BBS would show if it was causing an issue. Your instructions were for a generic problem that someone who hadn't diagnosed the issue might use of they were trying to figure out the culprit. He had the issue diagnosed using BBS as google play services. Adguard does not rely on google play services for anything.

Advert could be linking to a Google play advert or app, I don't know what it is but I've seen drain from an ad blocker before..
My point being why try one thing at a time.. and as I've said several times now, get back to stock and install bit by bit so find the culprit.
Google play links to everything installed, I had already said to clear data, that was one of the first things I said. What you're completely missing is the trigger, he's factory wiped his phone, yet it's reoccurred..
Why would you think they wiping the data to Google play would fix it permanently? You're simply treating a symptom, not the cause.
My instructions were not for a generic problem, in actual fact yours were. You're seeing the problem as Google play whereas that does not reflect the cause. Just the outcome.
Either way, I've given my two cents, do what you will.
Thanks for all the input guys
I had done wipe of storage and caches for play services , store, and everything linked to that.
I think the culprit was ob3
I decided to roll back last night to a10 and then go to staples a11 and the issue appears to not have come back. Even thought I have all the same apps and settings.
So something with play services might not be playing nice with ob3. It could just be me or not. IDK.
At least for now. It's been 12 hours since I loaded stable a11 on and I'm sitting at 1.4 % idle drain according to exkm. This is with 50% wifi and cellular. I'm going to wait a while more before I fully say it's gone until it's been a couple days to regular usage for things to settle
36 hours so far. And all is well so far. At 1.15% idle drain today.
